Z axis again: what kind of adhesive do you think to use?
Has the machine to PUSH the SMD over the adhesive, or just to let it drop over? This will tell me if I ( we) need a small sping or not on the Z axis.
.....an adhesive dispenser on the same axis....no !!!!!!
This is really R & D.
I'm lucky to be the second builder, I can have a lot of infos from you !

Hi,

You just apply the solder paste before putting the parts on the board. The solder paste surface tension is enough to hold the components in place. No need for glue for small parts.

You can just cut the vaccum and the solder paste surface tension will hold the part in the right place.

My machine did not work.. I may be a bad example to follow :-) All the things I am telling you comes from experience of mounting thousands of SMD boards using simple hand tools...

Best regards,
